Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1972, this property is a well-maintained 'time capsule' that appears to be in original or near-original condition. While the home is functional and tidy, it features significantly outdated aesthetics and components, including 1970s-style sculpted carpeting, diagonal wood paneling, vintage stained-glass doors, and aged bathroom fixtures. The exterior wood siding shows signs of weathering, and the mechanical systems, such as the wall heaters, are dated. It meets the 'fair' criteria as it is aged but maintained, requiring comprehensive cosmetic and system updates to meet modern standards.
Listed at $265,000, this property represents an affordable entry-level opportunity into the Big Bear market, offering significant value for a detached single-family residence.
Located just 20 minutes from Snow Summit and surrounded by mature trees, the home is ideally situated for outdoor enthusiasts and has strong potential as a vacation rental.
Despite its compact size, the inclusion of two full bathrooms provides a highly functional living arrangement that is often rare in smaller mountain cabins of this vintage.
At only 840 square feet, the interior living space is quite small, which may be a constraint for full-time residents or those looking to host larger groups.
Built in 1972, the property may require updates to its original systems and aesthetic finishes to meet modern energy efficiency and design standards.
